It is assumed that you already have many of the software skills required to complete this assessment. In Year 10 Computing you were required to make a database. You had to create tables to store data, create an input form to put data into the system and then you had to use the database to solve problems. You will also have used word processing or presentation software to present your work in a range of subjects through out the school. You will already be able to organise text and graphics on the page.

If you need help or reminders about the software there are tutorials available here:
